Fungus, I think you miss the fact, that buying a fluke 87V is in many cases the cheapest option. Not for you the hobbyist, but for a company.
At some point even "companies" have to realize that 100xFluke=$45,000 and 100xAmprobe=$17,000
I think the topic is about comparing the characteristics and features of some DMMs more expensive than a decent Scope.
IMHO, an excellent brand DMM (Keithley, Fluke, Keysight, Gossen, Brymen, Chauvin Arnoux, Hioki) is ALWAYS cheaper than a Scope from another excellent brand. And a hobbyist brand Scope could be cheaper than an excellent brand DMM.
So, this price inconsistency ($DMM > $Scope) is not related to the instrument, but the brand quality, like R&D, Components, References, Construction, Calibration, Safety, and Warranty like Fluke Lifetime Warranty and "indirectly" Keysight lifetime warranty, etc.
